Rooibos Tea as an Infusion

Rooibos has been used by the Khoisan Tribe of South Africa for hundreds of years as an infusion and herbal medicine. It was discovered in the 18^th century by a botanist named Carl Humberg and began to be used by South Africans. In 1904 Benjamin Ginsberg started marketing it to the world calling it Mountain Tea.

The farm is cultivated with a careful regard for the biodiversity of the land, care for employees is paramount and conservation of the history of the land is also a priority. The Company Logo is taken from a picture of Bushmen’s Handprints on a rock escarpment high on the farm dating back centuries. On the ground under the escarpment are discarded stones that have been clearly used as hand tools.

The Rooibos we can offer is the freshest sweetest Tea that can be supplied. Because it comes from one farm we can give proper provenance and traceability. The Tea will only be sifted and packed once the client has agreed the specification. A certificate of residual pesticide levels will be supplied with each delivery.

Rooibos is clinically proven to be rich in Anti-oxidants. Drinking Rooibos can help with Headaches, Colic, Asthma, Prostatitis and Cystisis.
